While Gabriel has been one of the Latin industry’s most successful artists since his career started in the 1970s, the latest entry is only his third solo No. 1 -- all of which have been achieved in the last 10 months. After Los Duo, his greatest hits Mis Numero 1…40 Aniversario led the list for a week in October. However, Juntos Otra Vez, his collaborative album with ranchera singer Rocio Durcal, was his first time at the top, when it capped the chart for two weeks in 1997.

The release of the new album spurs gains for Los Duo, which is the week’s Greatest Gainer -- stepping 7-6 (up 41 percent to 2,000 copies), and Mis Numero 1 climbing 9-7 (29 percent rise to 1,000 units). Gabriel becomes only the seventh artist to have three simultaneously charting albums in the top 10 on Top Latin Albums.

Most recently Joan Sebastian, also a collaborator on Los Duo 2, posted five top 10 sets in August, following his death on July 13, 2015. Sebastian recorded “Lagrimas y Lluvia,” Gabriel’s mariachi hit from 1974, prior to his passing.
